A [Kakoune](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune) / [Neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim) inspired editor, written in Rust.

The editing model is very heavily based on Kakoune; during development I found

myself agreeing with most of Kakoune's design decisions.

For more information, see the [website](https://helix-editor.com) or

[documentation](https://docs.helix-editor.com/).

All shortcuts/keymaps can be found [in the documentation on the website](https://docs.helix-editor.com/keymap.html).

# Features

- Vim-like modal editing

- Multiple selections

- Built-in language server support

- Smart, incremental syntax highlighting and code editing via tree-sitter

It's a terminal-based editor first, but I'd like to explore a custom renderer

(similar to Emacs) in wgpu or skulpin.

Note: Only certain languages have indentation definitions at the moment. Check

`runtime/queries//` for `indents.scm`.
